This is a Timing question: Delay Becomes Structure is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Timing, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Commitment Delay / Extended Delay, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward Long-Term Delay / Should I walk away?.
The reader is trying to interpret extended delay as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
